This has been recently fixed upstream, follow these instructions to install the backported modules and needed firmware: You do not need Windows drivers and ndiswrapper. Ubuntu 16.04 users should just need to sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade Subsystem: Acer Incorporated Device Ġ3:00.0 Network controller : Qualcomm Atheros Device (rev 30) RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15) Here is the output of lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 netĠ2:00.0 Ethernet controller : Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: debug 0 debugfs 0 tracing 0 dfs 0 testmode 0 ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: pci irq msi-x interrupts 8 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 What to do? here is my dmesg | grep ath10k result inf but it says ndiswrapper not installed and when I do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, I get the reply that ndiswrapper-common is already the latest version. Then in that directory I ran the ndiswrapper -i. I don't know whether I am completely right till here or have I missed something? And if I am right then how to proceed from here? I also made a new directory and copied the unzipped. Windows computer not being mine, I am afraid I should not install any additional driver on it. The page says you have to go to control panel system hardware and all that on the windows system. I could not figure out which one to download but downloaded one on a windows PC and pasted the zip file on my desktop then unzipped it from the terminal using unzip. But Acer website has three atheros drivers. Using lspci and lspci -n, I can say PCI id is 168c:0042. Then I also disabled the atheros drivers. On doing lspci -vvnn, it gives: Network controller [0280: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30) So I am trying to install a windows driver using wifidocs/driver/ndiswrapper. I bought an Acer laptop and installed Ubuntu 14.04LTS but WiFi drivers are not available for it.
